I hope all of you had a safe and happy 4Th of July. This year my family and I took a mini vacation. We headed to our cottage in Post Lake. What a beautiful weekend all around. I took my daughter Hannah horse back riding. This was the first time she went solo. She did a great job. If you are in the Summit-Bass lake area you need to stop at the Highway 45 riding stables. Darla Lewer with the help of her friend Tom Pendergast have set up an excellent riding opportunity. The ride lasted about an hour and went through some scenic north woods terrain. Trail rides are only $25 per person or $20 for two or more. With the help of Emily, Molly and Abby they also have pony rides and an all day horse camp. Please give them a call and set up a ride for the family. Call (715-623-6868) you won't be disappointed. We also checked out the place where I had seen the pine snake, he was there as you can see in the picture. I think he's about 5 feet long. We also found 2 complete sheds from 2 different snakes. If you plan on crappie fishing you're in luck. We caught several nice ones off our pier. Use the smallest floating rapala and reel it very slow. Fish right at sunset.

Good luck
